Sacramento Radio Hosts
Censored for Anti-Muslim Speech?

Americans are rightly incensed over our
“leadership” in Washington bowing and scraping to
the Muslim world. We are sick of Barack Obama (or
whatever his name is) kissing the rings of Muslim
dictators. We are fed up with the petulant Obama
siding with the enemies of America, while rudely
snubbing our allies. We are appalled that Obama has
overthrown what little stability existed in the
Middle East, while he has paved the way for the evil
Muslim Brotherhood to assume the thrones of power
there. This anti-American usurper of our presidency
is a clear and present danger to the United States
and the world.

The murderous insanity from Middle Eastern
Muslims kicked in high gear (again) on September 11th
and resulted in the killings of four Americans—so
far—including Ambassador to Libya, Christopher
Stevens. Our pathologically lying administration
still insists that the terror attacks on our
embassies and outposts over there are because of a
stupid You Tube video. Only the dimmest of wits
buys that gossamer-thin story. The rest of us know
that the Muslim barbarians do not need an “excuse”
to burn, destroy and murder, while yelling and
screaming like the idiots they are.

Part of the reason the loons in the Obama
administration are determined to continue to blame
the ridiculous video for the latest Muslim violence
is their heartfelt desire to kill our freedom of
speech, which they detest just as much as the
Muslims do. That is why we are seeing
Muslim leaders calling for the punishment of
those who (rightly) criticize the hell-born ideology
of Islam—because the Muslims know they have a
sympathetic brother in the White House.

Now, we have a case of potential censorship here
in America. On Wednesday, I saw several news stories
about Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, a popular radio
morning show duo out of Sacramento, being
mysteriously absent from the air on Tuesday, the day
after Jack Armstrong suggested people should post
anti-Mohammad videos online.

On Monday night, after Armstrong’s morning
remarks, Sacramento’s
KTXL-TV Fox 40 spread the word about his
statements and sought comment from area Muslims,
thereby inflating the story.

Then, on Wednesday, the
Sacramento Bee reported that Armstrong and Getty
were missing from the air,

Popular talk radio show hosts Armstrong &
Getty were absent from Clear Channel’s live
programming Tuesday amid controversy around one
of the hosts’ on-air comments about Muslims.

KSTE (650 AM) aired a previously recorded
“Best Of” morning show on Tuesday instead of its
regularly scheduled live program featuring Jack
Armstrong and Joe Getty. Officials for the
Sacramento station and its owner, Clear Channel
Media and Entertainment, offered no explanation
for the change, sparking questions and heated
comments among fans on the show’s Facebook page.

During an on-air discussion Monday,
Armstrong criticized the United States for what
he characterized as apologizing for a crude
YouTube video that mocked the Prophet Muhammad
and sparked anti-U.S. uprisings around the
globe. He urged listeners to make their own
“anti-Muhammad ads” and post them to Al-Jazeera,
the Arabic news network. “We need to bombard
them with ads until they grow up,” he said.

Not a bad idea! Of course, we know the Muslims
will never “grow up,” but I understand Armstrong’s
sentiments, which he has every right to speak.

When Armstrong and Getty were not on the air
Tuesday, and now Wednesday, listeners naturally
wondered if Clear Channel had fallen prey to the
knee-jerk fear reaction that corporations often
exhibit when a “protected class” of people is
“offended.”

FOX40 contacted Clear Channel, the parent
company of KSTE that airs Armstrong and Getty
and were told there was a last-minute memo
Monday night announcing the co-hosts were on
vacation. The station says the pair’s vacation
has nothing to do with what was said on the air
Monday morning.

At this time, there is no indication that
Tuesday’s vacation is a result of Jack
Armstrong’s comments during their Monday show.

FOX40 contacted the two hosts Tuesday.
Both declined to comment.

If this is just a vacation, why did Armstrong and
Getty not tell their listeners on Monday? And, if
this is just a vacation, why would they not confirm
it to news media and put a stop to the swirling
questions? Why the silence?

As of this writing, mid-day on Wednesday, there
were no answers, so by the time this is published,
there may be more news. Wednesday was the second day
Armstrong and Getty were off the air without
explanation.

This story is of great interest to Americans who
see that our enemies, foreign and domestic, are
intent on silencing any voices that criticize their
evil actions. We are interested when giant companies
like Clear Channel appear to cater to those
anti-freedom forces by censoring on-air voices. We
do not yet know if that is the case here, but the
longer the silence continues, the more we can not
help but think it is.

As long as corporate America is scared to stand
up and tell the anti-freedom worms to take a hike,
we will continue to see our freedom of speech
attacked in this way.

Naturally, there will be those who say Clear
Channel leaders have every right to determine the
content of their programming, and that is certainly
true,
as I know first-hand, but when they determine
what content they allow based on fear of “offending”
a certain loud-mouthed segment of society, then we
lose, and the anti-freedom bullies win.

Quote of the Day

"If you will not
fight for the right when you can win without
bloodshed, if you will not fight when your
victory will be sure and not so costly, you
may come to the moment when you will have to
fight with all the odds against you and only
a precarious chance of survival. There may
be a worse case. You may have to fight when
there is no chance of victory, because it is
better to perish than to live as slaves."Winston Churchill
